June 2025 - quieter than usual.... faster than usual too

 Just the four TTs this month as away on holiday in Spain during the first week and some last minute marshalling at the last TT. In between, there was a road race third place and a really fast C2C2C so all was not lost...

10.06.25 Wheelers Ingham TT 21.59 
Good start to the month and a win. Struggled with the wind direction on this one and seemed to be unhelpful both ways, I did judge the out and inward efforts badly and again left myself too much to chase on the return.

12.06.25 Wheelers 15 Champs 40.33

Not really a rec with the following 10 just two days later - this was a VO2 max affair, race done on road bike with 2 x 5 minute intervals thrown in.

14.06.25 Hemel Hempstead 10  20:20
My fastest 10 mile TT since 2017 and my second fastest of all time. I really paced this one the best I could and maturely rode the poor roads and pushed at the right times. Backwind to first turn, then headwind for next stretch with a nice backwind to finish. Road surface poor in places and cross wind down the hill - front wheel behaved perfectly. Another 30 seconds to find for the club record.


17.06.25 Wheelers Ingham TT  21.50
Fastest Ingham TT in god knows how many attempts over the years. Despite a windy night, I was able to find another 10W somehow and this translated into a better margin win. I still don't know where those watts came from or indeed how that night became so quick for me. Series win and maximum points in the season long competition.
